Why?
The methodologist for this unique study is Philip Parker, Eli Lilly Chair Professor of Innovation, Business and Society at INSEAD (Fontainebleau, France and Singapore). According to Professor Parker, “With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of barriers to entry, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company’s financial indicators on a worldwide basis. World stock markets have recently witnessed a return to fundamental financial analysis. ” The goal of the reports is to assist consultants, financial managers, strategic planners, and corporate officers in gauging certain indicators of 3Dshopping.com’s financial and human resource structure. Professor Parker states, "We are intrigued by the wide variations in basic financial and productivity measures between 3Dshopping.com and other Computer Programming, Data Processing and Computer Related Services companies. The Earnings Before Interest And Taxes (EBIT), for example, varied from -933.18 to 122.32. We see this type of variation in the hundreds of ratios that we estimate.” How?: Methodology
